Description
First of all could I please thankyou for all the lovely comments of Carla 'B' on her latest pics & saying how well she looked. This pic was taken on Friday.
During a routine yearly checkup Mike found a lump in Carla's tum. A fortnight ago today, she went for a scan & she was diagnosed with a tumour on her spleen. She has been to see Mike today & although she is still eating well & wanting to go out etc, we have to take every day as it comes, every day is a bonus.
I have told only two people on here & I would like to thank them for their support. I thought it best to tell you know as I would hate to have to tell you all when the time comes & you will know what has happened if I dissappear.
As you will know, we are absolutely devastated.
Thanks for all the lovely comments & favs, so, so appreciated. xxxx

A wonderful picture of Carla B. I'm so sorry to hear the news, but glad she has had a long life filled with joy and love and wishing you all more good memories before it is time to say goodbye. CC
She has had a most wonderful owner and a perfect life, lucky girl! I shall be thinking of you, I know how it is.
too bad about her tumor, however a beautiful portrait
Marvelous capture of a very happy looking Carla B. I am so very sorry to hear about her health concerns. Unfortunatly this is a part of loving something. There is always the risk that eventually we will need to face a devastating loss. The only way to avoid the pain of loss is to never love anyone or anything. Carla B. has been such a joy to you for many years there is no way it will not hurt when its time to say goodbye. Last fall Glenda and I had to say goodbye to Misty after 17 wonderful loving years. We still miss her a lot, but also have many great memories of fun times with her. Carla, has enjoyed being part of one of the most loving families I have ever seen. Few animals are so well cared for. Depending how her cancer is progressing she could have several good months left or it could be short time. Just keep loving her each and every day, watch for signs of increasing discomfort and pain.
So sorry my friend, Carla B, is a beautiful dog. You have shared much love with her. It is never easy to lose such a friend. I cry everytime... and then get another one. Give her a hug from us in Texas. :) Cheryl Bill and Cassidy
Barbara, let me say how truly sorry I am to hear this sad news about Carla 'B' and please know that she will be in my prayers.
Wonderful portrait capture! :) I am so sorry to here this about such a wonderful dog. :( I hope you get many more days with her.
This is a beautiful capture of Carla 'B' Barbara and I feel so sad that you had to write this. You know that our thoughts and prayers are with you all. Hugs and woofs, Dana
A stunning capture of your girl Carla B, I am sorry that she is not in the best of health at the moment, she is though a lucky, lucky girl (despite her health worries) to have found you Barbara. I doubt she would have had a better home. I know how hard it can be and I am thinking of you all, lets hope she will be by your side for as long as possible,
Beautiful Carla 'B'. She has such beautiful eyes and such a lovely expression. I am very sorry, Barbara. She is lucky to have a wonderful home and you to ease her on her way when the time comes. Give the beautiful Carla another hug from Texas. My thoughts are with you.
Oh Barbara how devastating this news is to all of us on here who have followed your girls antics with interest.. In a way she (well they all) have become a part of the rendo family.. I pray that she will continue to be a round for some time to come.. It is never easy to take news like this and my heart and thoughts go out to you and Carla B and the rest of your family as you deal with this. Please give her a big hug from me here in New Zealand...
Oh that's such sad news. I know just how you feel and that no words can make it better. Enjoy the rest of your time with her - every second is precious.
So sorry for your loss.
I am so very sorry to hear of Carla B's situation. She and you and the rest of your family are in my thoughts and prayers Very lovely photo of her
She looks very happy now, and I'm sure she is, so enjoy her as much as you can. That is exactly what she is doing with you. She will be happy to her last breath because you have cared for her! All the best!
Omg noooo im writing this with tears streaming down my face god be with you and Carla and all your family you will all be in my preyers hugs lou x
I am so glad to have stopped by for this pic and your comment. As you know, I've been scarce of late. And before I forget, thanks a million for your comments on our blog...the trip goes on but the blog entries are off for a few days as we spend time with our grandsons, daughter and son-in-law. We'll be back on the road this Wednesday and the blog will come back to life. As for Carla 'B''s diagnosis...a super tough thing to hear for any dog owner/lover. My heart is with you...we've lost two Westies to cancer over the years. Carla 'B' has the best of homes and owners. What more could she ever ask for?! Give her a special hug for Tara and me today.
I am so sorry to hear this! How devastating! I know she is part of your family! My prayers go out to you all!
A short visit after my weekend with Heike - I like the picture very much - it's great
Dear Barbara my dearest friend we have spoken about this together, and you know I am always here for you whenever you need me. It is the right thing that you have told all your very dear friends here on Rendo, because reading through your comments I can tell how much they all not only love you, but your beloved pets too, so you are very thoughtful to warn and prepare those friends especially as I know how difficult it is for you right now. Love you and your beloved Carla B give her a gentle hug from her Aunty Janice. xxxxxxx
I've already expressed to you how I feel .. devastated. I've never petted Carla B, never gave her hugs, never felt her soft nose on my face or her kisses, nor have I ever given her or the other girls kisses, but Barb, I feel like they are a part of my family, too. I'm just glad that she is still in good spirits, still enjoying her food, and that she still can go for walkies, though maybe not as spirited as she once did. This is the saddest news, you know my prayers are with you all, these are difficult times. But Carla B couldn't be in a better place. Being with you she has the best of care, the most love, and happiness and contentment to the last day.
